“Certified” Election Results?!

I keep hearing democrats crying about “election deniers,” and how the 2020 election results have been “certified,” yada, yada, yada.

“Certified” by who?

“Certified” by the same corrupt partisan officials who conducted the election in their respective cities and states, and then rubber stamped by other partisan politicians and partisan judges?   

According to Lisa Marshall, for the CU (Colorado University) Boulder Today, news publication, “In the days following the 2020 presidential election, as states re-counted and certified votes and President Joe Biden’s win became more objectively certain, Republicans, paradoxically, became less confident in the legitimacy of the vote, according to new CU Boulder research published today in the journal PLOS ONE.”

Note: PLOS ONE is a peer-reviewed open access mega journal published by the Public Library of Science since 2006. The journal covers primary research from any discipline within science and medicine.

“The study also found that, regardless of political party, the more an individual consumed and trusted Fox News, the less faith he or she had in the electoral process.”

Could that be because the mainstream media stuck their heads in the sand and basically failed to report about any election abnormalities at all, while FOX at least addressed some of the issues and concerns?

Could that be why?   

‘“We have never seen this before in the weeks following Election Day: The more evidence accumulated that Biden won, the less confident Republicans became that the election was legitimate,’ said senior author Leaf Van Boven, a professor of psychology and neuroscience who studies judgment and decision making in politics. ‘In a healthy democracy, you would see that moving in the opposite direction, Democrats and Republicans would become more confident in the election’s legitimacy.’”

Yes, that would be nice, but the more we learned about the 2020 election, or better said “installation,” the less confidence we had it its legitimacy.

And, the reason “we have never seen this before in the weeks following Election,” is because we have never seen a presidential election stolen like this before!

“The study comes as some conservative thought leaders have begun to distance themselves from Fox News for giving voice to what they call ‘conspiracy theories,’ and two voting technology companies are suing the network for perpetuating claims the election was rigged.”

Haven’t we arrived at the point now where “conspiracy theories” really aren’t theories anymore?

And anyone can sue anybody for anything. The act of being sued should not be attributable to the questioning of integrity. “The study” makes biased assumptions, connections, and conclusions that are not really valid.     

And who gave the order to stop counting votes in the swing states on the night of November 3/4, 2020 by the way?

Just sayin’.  

“The new research relies on a psychological explanation, known as ‘cognitive dissonance theory,’ to explain the bizarre turn American politics has taken in the past year.”

Oh, really?

“Cognitive dissonance is when one’s personal attitudes and identities are inconsistent with their beliefs. To ease that discomfort, people rationalize the facts to restore consistency and turn to social networks to reaffirm that rationalization.”

I guess I would say we turned to social networks to validate our lying eyes with the lying eyes of others…, but, that’s just me.  

“After the 2020 election, the explanation for many was that the election must have been rigged [which it was], and the reaffirming social network was Fox News, Van Boven said, ‘If you expect your candidate to win and then your candidate loses, you are shoved into a state of cognitive dissonance. What you thought was supposed to happen doesn’t happen and that feels uncomfortable, so you make sense of it by rationalizing the outcome.’”

Or, when “what you thought was supposed to happen doesn’t happen, and that feels uncomfortable,” you blame the Russians!

Or, you recognize the actual chain of events, and refuse to be an election denier denier.

I don’t remember this being raised when Hillary lost, regarding democrats. I do remember Russian collusion being blamed, however. What would the resident eggheads call that?

Collusion delusion?

“For the study, the researchers took advantage of an unusual ‘natural experiment,’ a hotly contested election with an unprecedented number of mail-in and absentee ballots, which meant the outcome would not be known for days.”

You mean an election with an unprecedented number of UNVERIFIABLE and illegal mail-in and absentee ballots, that were conveniently discovered and counted in the middle of the night?

Those ballots?  

“They surveyed a diverse sample of 1,200 people and asked them how much faith they had that the votes were counted correctly. Half responded between Nov. 4 and 8, just after Election Day when many states’ vote counts had not been confirmed. Half took it between Nov. 9 and 15, after all states had confirmed counts, most media outlets had declared Biden the winner and Biden had delivered his acceptance speech.”

“Participants also reported how much they trusted and consumed 15 media outlets, including Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.”

“As days passed, Republicans grew less confident that the votes were counted fairly, while Democrats grew more confident. Both findings are problematic, said Van Boven, ‘In healthy democracies, citizens are confident that votes were counted as intended regardless of who won.’”

That’s because “as days passed” we learned more about the democrats’ efforts to manipulate the vote, and the legal system’s choice to not address the problems with the vote at all.

We definitely cannot be considered a “healthy democracy” at this point.  

“The researchers were surprised to find that Republicans trusted and consumed only one of the 15 media outlets, Fox News, more than Democrats or Independents did. Democrats, in contrast, trusted and consumed all of the media outlets, except Fox News, more than Republicans or Independents.”

‘“If an individual trusted and consumed any of the other media outlets we measured, aside from Fox News, they trusted the election outcome more,’ said Van Boven.”

And that is because the “other media outlets” pumped out their dutiful propaganda about how this was the most secure election in history, which it obviously wasn’t.

“What made 2020 different? Studies have shown that voters whose candidate loses tend to temporarily lose faith that votes were counted correctly, but if the democracy is healthy losers ultimately consent. 2020 was different. Voters personally identified more closely with their political parties than in past elections, said author Dani Grant, a doctoral student in social psychology. ‘There is a lot more cognitive dissonance if you are not just dealing with disagreement about abstract policies, but you feel like your actual identity is under threat,’ said Grant.”

And it is.

Without fair elections, democracies aren’t democracies.  

Just a reminder that the Texas lawsuit questioning the validity of the 2020 election results was joined by more than a dozen state attorney generals, as well as more than 100 members of the U.S. House. This was a little more than a case of personal cognitive dissonance.

“Trump did not promptly concede, as George H.W. Bush, Al Gore, John McCain and Hillary Clinton did. And the media landscape had changed.”

And the way we accumulated and counted the votes had changed as well.

And why would President Trump “promptly concede” when the election was obviously being stolen from him?

“We now exist in a media landscape that is sharply polarized, and we need to take some initiative to seek more diversity. Otherwise, we may just be reaffirming our preexisting beliefs and notions to make us feel better.”

A diversity of truths?

How does that work?

Perhaps you should direct your concerns towards how our elections are conducted, rather than how the media portrays how our elections ae conducted.

The Media: From Watch Dogs to Lap Dogs!

Yes, my friends…, it’s true.

But first, let’s establish what we’re talking about here.  

Harvard’s “Colonel Watchdog” publication says, “Watchdog journalism is a form of investigative journalism where journalists, authors or publishers of a news publication fact-check and interview political and public figures to increase accountability. Watchdog journalism usually takes on a form of beat reporting about specific aspects and issues.”

Author Thomas Hanitzsch, from his book “Deconstructing Journalism Culture: Toward a Universal Theory,” writes, “In the course of their work, watchdog journalists gather information about wrongdoings of people in power and deliver it to the public, so the public can understand what happens in society and stop wrongdoings. Watchdog journalism is different from propagandist journalists, who often report articles from a government’s perspective. Due to watchdog journalism’s unique features, it also often works as the fourth estate (or the fourth branch of government). The general issues, topics, or scandals that watchdog journalists cover are political corruption and any wrongdoings of people in power such as government officials or corporation executives. One of the important things that watchdog journalists have to do is uncover hidden evidence about wrongdoings.”

According to The Lufkin Daily News, “America’s Founders regarded a free press as so vital to the new nation that they took care to include that right in the First Amendment to the Constitution.”

“The Founders spoke glowingly about the press as a pillar of democracy and guarantor of liberty. Thomas Jefferson, for instance, famously wrote in 1787 that ‘were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.’”

“George Washington framed the issue of free expression in almost apocalyptic terms: ‘If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.’”

“Yet discussing the free press of their day, the Founders also could often sound like those who are decrying ‘fake news’ in 2020.”

“Under a barrage of criticism from newspapers published by his political opponents, Washington painted journalists as ‘infamous scribblers.’ Benjamin Franklin, himself a very successful newspaper publisher, described the press of his time as a resentful, vicious institution comparable to the Spanish Inquisition.”

“Jefferson frequently condemned the press as passionately as he had advanced their right to publish freely. ‘I deplore … the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity, and mendacious spirit of those who write for them,’ he wrote in 1814. ‘Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper,’ he complained in a letter to another friend.”

“For good measure he wrote to his ally in Congress, the Massachusetts politician Barnabas Bidwell: ‘As for what is not true, you will always find abundance in the newspapers.’”

“On this Independence Day 244 years later, it’s worth reflecting on the lessons the Founders have for us as we assess the role and the practices of the news media today.”

“The first lesson is that while the nation’s leaders and institutions may chafe under the public criticism that accompanies reporting of their shortcomings, the role of the press in holding those leaders and institutions accountable is indispensable to the workings of a democratic society.”

“Most importantly, the press’ proper role must be recognized by the leaders and institutions being held accountable.”

“As abused as he was by the partisan press, Jefferson nevertheless declared, ‘I am … for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents.’”

“Among those slinging partisan unjust criticisms was the newspaper co-founded by James Madison, who reasoned that ‘some degree of abuse is inseparable from the proper use of everything, and in no instance is this more true than in that of the press.’”

“Yet, he went on to argue that trying to regulate the ‘abuse’ of the press threatens to strangle its vitality and utility to a free people: ‘To the press alone, checkered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression.’”

“And therein lies the most fundamental lesson the Founders have for us in 2020: The press and the government may often have an adversarial relationship — but the government must not attempt to delegitimize the press and its work because they are essential to a free society.”

“Would any of us want to live in a country where the news media isn’t freely allowed to report on the actions of its government? Any harm done by an overreaching press would be nothing compared to a government left unchecked. As much as the news media may rub some the wrong way, it is frightening to think of a society with no free press.”

I think we can all agree that none of us would want to, “live in a country where the news media isn’t freely allowed to report on the actions of its government.”

The problem is, there isn’t much of the media remaining which is actually doing this.

In fact, we see the majority of the “news” media choosing to ignore many stories by partaking in propaganda by omission, like Hillary’s emails, Hillary’s promotion of the Russian hoax against President Trump, Hunter Biden’s escapades along with Illegitimate Joe’s involvement, or the manipulation of the 2020 election, for example, or outrightly promoting false democrat narratives, like the media promoting the Russian hoax against President Trump for over three straight years, along with their daily regurgitation of democrat talking points.  

As much as the Founding Fathers questioned the free press back in their day, I think they would be stunned and greatly alarmed at the role the media is playing with our government, and politics in general, today.

Yes, for the most part, the media in 2022 has completed its evolution from government Watch Dogs to liberal government Lap Dogs.

Let’s Go Brandon!!!

Yes, definitely my friends…, let’s go Brandon!

I just filled-up my gas tank at a high of $4.10 a gallon! Well, really $409 and 9/10, but close enough.

But the climbing gas prices are just the tip of the iceberg.

We’ve also seen the abandonment of our energy independence, the perpetuation of COVID anti-science political lies, the Green bad deal, the Afghanistan debacle and embarrassment, the allowance of a crime wave across the nation, the persecution of patriotic parents and Americans in general, and now Ukraine and the possibility of WWIII…, just for starters.  

Yes, let’s go Brandon! But, not only “Brandon.”

Let’s go Brandon’s “handlers,” advisors, and policy dictators! Such as Susan Rice, Jake Sullivan, John Kerry, Anthony Fauci, Rochelle Walensky, Kate Bedingfield, and Jen Psaki. You may have to wash your mouth out with soap if actually say their names out loud. Sorry about that.  

Let’s go Brandon’s political party, comrades Schumer and Pelosi, all of Brandon’s unelected “swamp monsters” in the DOJ, FBI, DOD, CDC, NIAID, and the NIH, Brandon’s co-conspiracist propaganda media, and all the rest of the anti-American democrat party.

If you were one of the living and valid citizens who actually voted for Sleepy Joe and Cackling Kamala, hopefully you have seen the error in your ways and have fled “the dark side.”

If not, or you choose to perpetuate the anti-American democrat agenda, the let’s go Brandon and you too!

I think that just about covers it.

Stay thirsty for the truth, my friends, and stay strong.

Tyranny Masquerading as a Democracy!

Yes, my friends…, we have reached a point where we have to start calling it like it is, and stop pretending that the democrats have any interest in doing what is best for our country, when in fact they want to destroy our country as it was established under the U.S. Constitution.    

Please bear with me as I recap recent events that would support my claim.

First of all, we have lost any semblance of accountability by anyone in government…, at least relating to democrats and the deep state.

We see countless “investigations” but, in the end, no one of any significance ends up being charged or put in jail.

When laws that apply to us do not apply to the ruling class, that is the definition of tyranny.

WHEN YOU CAN CONTROL ELECTIONS YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO OR FEAR THE VOTERS.

As a result, we see no justice. The FBI and the DOJ have become completely politicized. The law is selectively applied based on the party affiliation and ideology of those in question.

Secondly, we are witnessing laws being passed and proposed which are significantly changing the fabric of our country, even though the democrats aren’t anywhere near having a mandate from the voters. 

In fact, the Senate is actually tied 50-50, while in Congress, the democrats have a slight advantage of only 220-212.   

Again, WHEN YOU CAN CONTROL ELECTIONS YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO OR FEAR THE VOTERS.

Third, we see the Biden administration ignoring laws and imposing orders in order to impose their anti-American agenda. And, of course, the “Justice” system has no problem with this, nor does the mainstream propaganda media.

This is what you get when you cross incompetence, stupidity, ignorance, and evil.

We’ve seen our AWOL Vice President, “cackling” Kamala Harris, who had funded support to bail out Minneapolis rioters, only to see one of her bailed out rioters go on to commit murder.  Gee, thanks Kamala.  You, of course, carry no responsibility for this. And, of course, you have no comment, and our diligent free press doesn’t care to ask you about it either.

Then we come to the illustrious Army four-star General, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley. If we can believe the accounts of one of Watergate’s Bob Woodward, the liberals’ supposed journalistic hero, Milley was the one who led a real insurrection against President Trump, by attempting to usurp his authority regarding the handling of the nuclear strike codes, while he conspired with his counterpart in China, telling him he would warn him if President Trump was planning on attacking China, for some reason. Sounds like treason to me.  And this guy still has his job? He should be being court martialed as we speak! Although Biden has said he still has complete confidence in him.

We also have the “Justice” department continuing to refuse to name all of the disgusting liberals involved with Jeffrey Epstein on Pedophile Island. How fast would it take them to name conservatives, if they were involved? Just sayin’.

Lastly, we have Dr. Fauci. The guy who repeatedly lied to Congress (which is a crime) and who it has been shown was involved in promoting “gain of function” research, regarding the virus, while managing to use U.S taxpayer money, via a shell game of funding, in Chinese labs.

All of the individuals mentioned here should be in jail, as well as James Comey, Peter Strzok and his girlfriend, Lisa Page, Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as Hunter Biden, just for starters.

It’s sad.

We may not see any justice for these people in this life, but they will eventually get what they deserve.

Epstein is sitting in Hell, after being suicided, waiting for all of the rest of these pieces of garbage to show up.

And be assured, they will be showing up there.

That, at least, should give us all some solace.

NBC is just “democrat propaganda.”

And in case there was really any doubt about this, Lester “the forehead” Holt and his “journalist” friends just confirmed it!

NBC is just one of the “democrat propaganda” entities, however.

Brian Flood of Fox News reports that, “NBC News anchor Lester Holt received praise from liberal media figures after saying reporters don’t need to hear both sides of a story before determining the ‘truth.’”

‘“I think it’s become clear that fairness is overrated … the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in,’ Holt said on Tuesday night while accepting an award at the 45th Murrow Symposium.”

Spoken like a true “fake news” propagandist!

He doesn’t have time for “fairness,” when he’s pushing the democrats’ agenda!

C’mon on!

And don’t be concerned with “determining the truth!”

As a public service (disservice really), we’ll do that for you!

And, boy, these democrats sure like giving each other awards, don’t they!

‘“That the sun sets in the west is a fact. Any contrary view does not deserve our time or attention,’ Holt continued. ‘Decisions to not give unsupported arguments equal time are not a dereliction of journalistic responsibility or some kind of agenda, in fact, it’s just the opposite.’”

So, our friend Lester, here, puts the fact that the sun sets in the west right there with “fact” (according to the democrats) that there is no humanitarian crisis on the Mexican border.

No “dereliction of journalistic responsibility” there!

Can we harken back to an example (one of many) when Lester “the forehead” Holt had a hard time determining “the truth” on our behalf?

According to Brian Flood of Fox News, in an article published January 24, 2018, “NBC News is reeling after ‘Nightly News’ anchor Lester Holt appears to have been badly fooled by North Korean propagandists — giving a cheery report from a ski resort in the Hermit Kingdom that looked to be bustling when it was widely known to actually be a ghost town.”

Huh.

A propagandist being fooled by other propagandists. 

Definitely not a good look there.

“Holt — who returned early from North Korea after scathing reviews — reported for ‘Nightly News’ from the Masikryong ski resort on Monday, a facility that is the brainchild of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and is typically empty. The resort, built to create the appearance of a prosperous nation, was largely deserted during peak 2017 ski season, according to multiple reports.”

On a side note, this was done by Kim in an attempt to show his country was on par with South Korea, which was preparing to host the Winter Olympics.

“But for Holt’s appearance, the North Korean government appears to have brought in skiers — wearing identical outfits — and staged the scene, something Holt did not appear to realize.”

“The resort is a ‘source of immense pride for a country trying to present a new and modern face to the world,’ Holt said during his report.”

“NBC News did not respond to requests for comment as to whether Holt’s unexpectedly early departure from North Korea was related to the embarrassing ski resort snafu. But inside 30 Rockefeller Plaza, NBC’s more seasoned journalists were cringing.”

“Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un famously rode the ski lift, without skies, when touting his resort.”

“Holt’s coverage was overseen by embattled NBC News President Noah Oppenheim, who traveled with Holt and a camera crew to North Korea weeks before the Peacock Network will cover the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. Now Holt’s credulous reporting has cast a cloud over the network’s ability to accurately portray the Korean peninsula going into the Olympics.”

This is they guy you’re supposed to trust to tell you “the truth?” 

‘“It’s been reported that the state-of-the-art resort cost the Kim regime $35 million to build, even with slave labor, while most of the country starved,’ the Daily Mail wrote. ‘It is a bizarre thing to prioritize in an impoverished nation with a ramshackle infrastructure where around 40 percent of its people are undernourished.’”

‘“Yes, NBC is eager to promote next month’s Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. But that hardly required anyone to travel north of the DMZ to film propaganda for a regime that enslaves 25 million people — and holds another 50 million southerners as quasi-hostages, under constant (if low-grade) threat of war,’ an editorial said.”

“As for Holt, the North Korean trip is his biggest debacle since he hosted the first presidential debate in September of 2016, when he was widely criticized for anti-Trump bias, so much so that ‘NBC Nightly News’ dropped sharply in the ratings when compared to arch-rival ABC, and has yet to recover.”

Remember, Holt sees no reason to “hear both sides of a story before determining the “truth.”

Flood then continues, “Holt then said ‘providing an open platform for misinformation, for anyone to come say whatever they want, especially when issues of public health and safety are at stake, can be quite dangerous,’ before declaring the duty of reporters is to be ‘fair to the truth.’”

Of course, that isn’t taking into consideration your own platform for “misinformation,” right Lester?!

“Critics of Holt’s approach saw his comments as essentially a dog whistle to liberal reporters who see themselves as the arbiters of truth and, therefore, can cover the news from a one-sided perspective with the approval of NBC’s top anchor.”

“Cornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Jacobson didn’t think Holt’s remarks apply to the modern world where outspoken liberals are often working as journalists.”

‘“In a better world in which the mainstream major media had a history of fairness and non-partisanship, Holt’s point that journalism inherently involves filtering information might make sense. This is not such a better world, this is a world in which the mainstream major media wears its partisanship on its sleeve, manipulating the news cycle to the advantage of Democrats,’ Jacobson told Fox News. ‘In the real world, Holt’s advice simply justifies media political bias.’”

“Left-wing New York University journalism professor Jay Rosen felt Holt’s comments were reason to celebrate.”

‘“When the chief anchor of one of the major networks agrees that ‘bothsidesing’ everything is bad practice, critics have finally won a point and they should celebrate,’ Rosen tweeted.”

Woohoo!

“Fake news” all the way!!!

“Rosen followed up: ‘Someone like Lester Holt is a center of gravity among news workers and if he thinks it’s okay not to both sides everything that can influence thought and behavior across a lot of desks.’”

“CNN’s left-leaning ‘Reliable Sources’ 9which are anything but “reliable”) media newsletter highlighted Holt’s remarks as a ‘sharp critique of bothsidesism,’ a notable turn of phrase from a reporting team that almost completely reserves its criticisms for right-leaning outlets, including calls for censorship.”

Censorship is, of course, is the bellwether strategy for a fascist political party.

“Outspokenly liberal CNN White House correspondent John Hardwood simply wrote, ‘Thank you’ to Holt.”

So, at least we know where all of these “jounalists” are coming from…, as if we didn’t already know.

“Holt replaced Brian Williams as anchor of ‘NBC Nightly News’ in 2015 after Williams admitted to lying about an Iraq War story he’d told for years. He was suspended without pay for six months but eventually returned as an anchor for MSNBC, NBC’s left-wing (you mean more left-wing) cable affiliate.”

Fake News…, Fake News everywhere!

According to David Rutz of Fox News, “The Washington Post made a massive correction Monday to a January report about a phone call between then-President Donald Trump and Georgia elections investigator Frances Watson, admitting it wrongly attributed multiple quotes to Trump based on an anonymous source.”

An “Anonymous source.”

Using “anonymous sources” give the democrat propaganda fake news media license to make up any story they want.

Let’s see how many negative stories are attributed to “anonymous sources” over the next four years about Illegitimate Joe and his democrat friends in Washington. 

My guess would be ZERO.  

Regarding former President Trump, and anyone around him, it was an almost daily occurrence.  

“The Post initially reported Trump had told an official working in Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office to ‘find the fraud’ in the state, which he lost narrowly to Joe Biden, and that she would be a ‘national hero’ if she did.”

My first reaction would be, “so, what?”

“However, a newly emerged recording of the Dec. 23 call found he didn’t use those words. Instead, Trump said she would be ‘praised’ when the ‘right answer comes out’ and encouraged her to closely examine mail-in ballots in Fulton County, the heavily blue and most populated county in the state.”

My biggest issue here is with this “newly emerged recording” stuff.

How many recordings of their calls with former President Trump are there?

It’s like they recorded their conversations with him (Is this even legal?), in the hopes of being able to “catch” him in the act of something…, and if they couldn’t they just made up remarks and attributed them to him.

On a side note, how many “leaked” call with President Biden do you think we’ll be hearing about?

Again, my guess would be ZERO. 

“The Post published a lengthy correction to its story: ‘Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find ‘dishonesty’ there. He also told her that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now.’ A story about the recording can be found here. The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.’”

Well, isn’t that nice?

“CNN also reported on the call citing an unnamed source and waited until Monday afternoon to correct its story, after initially stating Trump said ‘national hero’ and ‘find the fraud’ in its opening paragraph. Many outlets picked up the story, including Vox, ABC News, and NBC News.”

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody.

They all jumped into the pool of lies and democrat propaganda, just like they always do.

Sooo predictably “swampy.”

“While news outlets often cite sources who paraphrase conversations they participated in or overheard, using quotes indicates to the reader a subject said those exact words.”

Reeeeeally?

Thank you, professor!

‘“Our media are so, so, so breathtakingly corrupt,’ Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway tweeted. ‘They *always* mischaracterized this call — in a corrupt and fraudulent way. But to actually make up quotes in service of that? We are so screwed. By our disgustingly corrupt and unaccountable media.’”

Much like their “mischaracterizations” of President Trump’s call with the Ukrainian President…, only those “mischaracterizations” were much worse.   

“After MSNBC’s Hayes Brown defended the Post and praised its correction, Hemingway fired back that it was hardly a ‘self-policing win.’”

‘“So, they made up quotes? What in the actual F?’ conservative CNN commentator Mary Katharine Ham tweeted.”

“Conservative writer Mark Hemingway said the Post’s correction and new headline did not adequately reflect its wrongdoing, calling the mistake ‘beyond serious’ and indicative of the lack of accountability in corporate media.”

“In the conversation with Watson, Trump continued to claim he won Georgia by ‘hundreds of thousands of votes’ (which he did) and ‘something bad happened’ there (which it did).”

“Watson told Trump her team and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was focused on finding the truth and looking into any claims of fraud or wrongdoing.”

“Trump was the first Republican to lose the state in a presidential election since 1992. He repeatedly attacked Raffensperger and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, R., after he lost the race there, accusing them of being corrupt. Multiple audits and investigations did not uncover evidence of widespread fraud in the state, and recounts confirmed the result.”

Former President Trump has responded by saying, “While I appreciate the Washington Post’s correction, which immediately makes the Georgia Witch Hunt a non-story, the original story was a Hoax, right from the very beginning.”

And, “You will notice that establishment media errors, omissions, mistakes, and outright lies always slant one way—against me and against Republicans.,” President Trump said. “Meanwhile, stories that hurt Democrats or undermine their narratives are buried, ignored, or delayed until they can do the least harm—for example, after an election is over.”

And lastly, President Trump added, “Look no further than the negative coverage of the vaccine that preceded the election and the overdue celebration of the vaccine once the election had concluded. A strong democracy requires a fair and honest press. This latest media travesty underscores that legacy media outlets should be regarded as political entities (I would say ‘enemies.’), not journalistic enterprises.”

As we have discussed before, the “media” is supposed to act as a watchdog of government for the people.  When they become participants in the spreading of propaganda for any political interests, “We are so screwed,” in the words of Mollie Hemingway.

Illegitimate, racist, and cognitively challenged, Joe Biden.

During “President” Biden’s town hall, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Tuesday night, Biden demonstrated, again, his TRUE perception of black and brown people.

And good luck finding an article about his regrettable comments, because it doesn’t exist.

These remarks were apparently deemed to be unimportant, not worth reporting, and something to be ignored by the mainstream media.

Remember, if they don’t report it, it didn’t really happen.

I bet they only wish former President Trump had said something as stupid!

Now that would have been a story!  

I can only comment about these remarks because I heard them. 

Thankfully, Newsweek provided a complete transcript of the town hall meeting, otherwise I would have to rely completely on my memory.

As reported by Newsweek, “President Joe Biden spoke to CNN’s Anderson Cooper at a town hall meeting hosted by CNN in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Tuesday.”

“Biden discussed a range of topics, from when every American will be able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and the end of the pandemic, to being ‘tired of talking about Donald Trump’ while answering questions from Cooper and members of the audience.”

It was when Biden was taking questions from the audience that he let his true feelings be known.

“AUDIENCE MEMBER: God bless you. Mr. President, hello. My name is Dr. Dessie Levy. And my question to you is considering COVID 19 and its significant impact on black Americans, especially here in Milwaukee and thus, the exacerbation of our racial disparities in health care, we have seen less than three percent of blacks and less than five percent of Hispanics given the total number of vaccines that have been administered to this point.”

“Is this a priority for the Biden administration? And how will the disparities be addressed? And that’s both locally and nationally.”

“BIDEN: Well, first of all, it is a priority, number one. Number two, there’s two reasons for it being the way it is. Number one, there is some history of blacks being used as guinea pigs in other experiments as I need not tell you, Doctor, over the last 50 to 75 to 100 years in America. So, there is a concern about getting the vaccine whether it’s available or not. But the biggest part of this is access –”

“AUDIENCE MEMBER: Mm-hmm.”

“BIDEN: — physical access. That’s why last week I opened up, I met with the Black Caucus in the United States Congress and agreed that I would — all of the — all of community health centers now, which take care of the toughest of the toughest neighborhoods in terms of illness, they are going to get a million doses, you know, a week, and how we’re going to move forward because they’re in the neighborhood.”

“Secondly, we have opened up — and I’m making sure that there’s doses of vaccine for over 6,700 pharmacies because almost everyone lives within — not always walking distance, but within the distance of being able to go to the pharmacy like when you got your flu shot. That is also now being opened.”

Unless your local pharmacy happened to be burned down during the peaceful protests last year!

“BIDEN: Thirdly, I also am providing for mobile — mobile vans, mobile units to go into neighborhoods that are hard to get to because people are — for example, even though everyone is within, you know, basically five miles of a Walgreen’s, let’s say, the fact is if you’re 70 years old, you don’t have a vehicle and you live in a tough neighborhood, meaning, you’re — it’s a high concentration of COVID, you’re not likely to be able to walk five miles to go get a vaccine.”

By a “tough neighborhood,” you mean a neighborhood where the police are being defunded and forced to operate with one hand tied behind their backs?

“BIDEN: The other thing we found is – I’m sorry to go on, but this is really important to me — the other part — portion is a lot of people don’t know how to register. Not everybody in the community, in the Hispanic and the African-American community, particularly in rural areas that are distant and/or inner-city districts know how to use — know how to get online to determine how to get in line for that COVID vaccination at the Walgreen’s or at the particular store.”

Wait, whaaaat?!

Did you really have to qualify these remarks around the African-American and Hispanic communities? 

So, African-Americans and Hispanics don’t know how to use their phone or a computer and get on the internet?

Is that what you’re saying, Illegitimate Joe?

Because it seems like that’s what you’re saying.

“BIDEN: So, we’re also – I’ve committed to spend a billion dollars on public education to help people figure out how they can get in there.”

So, you’ve committed A BILLION DOLLARS to show “these people,” people of color, how to get on to the internet?

Wow…, it must be harder than I thought!

Hey, Joe, I got it…, maybe you can hire some white people to shown them how it’s done?!

How about those people you kicked off the XL Pipeline?

But only the whiteys, of course.

And where is this intense training going to take place, Joe?

Will you have to build training centers?

And how long will the training be?

You know, the training to have the person press or click on the Google icon?

It may take a while for these African-Americans and Hispanics to catch on, you know.

“BIDEN: So, it’s all about trying to more rationalize in detail so ordinary people like me can understand, I mean that sincerely. I mean, my grandchildren can use that online, you know, make me look like I’m, you know, the seventh century, but all kidding aside. This is a process. And it’s going to take time.”

I am more than willing to put “all kidding aside,” Joe, but this really isn’t funny.  

In fact, it’s quite sad.

YOU are quite sad.

And you don’t have to convince me that you’re operating as if you were from the seventh century either!

Democrat Nazism.

“Democrat Nazism” is a term I coined to describe the type of Nazis these current democrats are.

They aren’t an example of the original, or traditional, Nazis.

They aren’t an example of neo-Nazis, like skinheads.

They represent their own version of Nazism…, Democrat Nazism.

The scary thing about Democrat Nazism is that the top people behind it are not out in front of it, but lurking in the shadows.

These are people with A LOT of money who fund any anti-American and anti-decency group they can.   

The people we see in our government, the people running “big tech,” the mainstream media, any many other people running many other companies, are just puppets and useful idiots in the grand scheme of things.

These knowingly, or unknowingly, Democrat Nazis are most assuredly a formidable group, however.

They operate under the same American freedoms that they hope to destroy, while they deflect from their own actions, and accuse those trying to defend our freedoms as the fascists.

It’s a brilliant strategy.

Evil, but brilliant.

These people are not stupid and they cannot, and should not, be underestimated.

They are constantly working to redirect our attention away from themselves and onto other fake news like Russian collusion, impeachment hoaxes, and any other crap they can manage to stick to the wall.   

The bottom line is, a world without the United States, as we know it, will become a world none of us will want to live in.

Do any of these quotes sound familiar today?

They should.

It’s been around 80 years since most of them were said, but most of them apply to the democrats of today.

It’s a liberal “jungle” out there!

Please be aware that every day, while you go about your life, there is an army of people out there working to divide, change, and undermine our way of life and our country.   

It’s true.

There are hundreds of these organization in The United States, including:

The Southern Poverty Law Center

The Brennan Center for Justice

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

Ballot Initiative Strategy Center (BISC)

State Innovation Exchange (SIX)

ProgressNow

MoveOn

The Pew Research Center

National Immigration Law Center

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)

Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN)

Black Lives Matter

Wellstone

Resurgent Left

Social Media (Google, Facebook, Twitter)  

The mainstream media (NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Public Radio)   

Just to name a few…, although that’s enough!  

All of these groups will say they are “non-partisan,” mainly for tax purposes, but they are anything but, and they’re all very far left of being “non-partisan.” 

I think, to them, “non-partisan” means “without a conscience.”

All of these groups are organizing, training (indoctrinating), fundraising, manipulating, scheming, and taking actions to destroy our democracy twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

None of these organizations give any quarter, nor do they take any prisoners.  They are all ruthless and unapologetic regarding their neo-fascist practices.

The radical left has done a good job indoctrinating all of their “good little Nazis,” who are convinced they are the ones fighting “the Nazis.”

They are really quite sad and pathetic, but, in reality they’re very dangerous.

First, Americans need to realize and concede that these anti-America groups and factions exist.

Secondly, we have to drag them out into the sunlight and expose them for what they are.

And thirdly, we have to fight them, resist them, and counter their actions via any means possible…, be that politically, lawfully, socially, or economically.

These people cannot just be allowed to operate, under our noses and without any rebuttal any longer.

These anti-America “Americans” must be confronted, engaged, and defeated.

Our lives and our children’s lives literally depend on it.

The list of traitors is long and distinguished!

Yes, “distinguished” in that they are all infamous.

Benedict Arnold.

James Comey.

John Brennan.

James Clapper.

Robert Mueller.

Peter Strzok.

Lisa Page.

Barack Obama.

Joe Biden.

Hillary Clinton.

Sally Yates.

Andrew McCabe.

Loretta Lynch.

Susan Rice.

Kathryn Ruemmler (Obama’s White House lawyer).

Bruce Ohr.

Nellie Ohr.

Rod Rosenstein.

Adam Schiff.

Jerrold Nadler.

“Which of these things is not like the others?”

“Which of these things just doesn’t belong?”

“Can you tell which thing is not like the others, by the time I finish my song?”

I’m sorry, because this is actually a trick question.

The correct answer is “no one on the list doesn’t belong!”

They all belong, because they’re all treasonous vermin!

And they all had many accessories along the way as well.

Not mention the lying, complicit, fake news, liberal propaganda, mainstream media.   

Actually, a case could be made that Benedict Arnold “doesn’t belong,” because he was the only one who wasn’t involved in spying on the Trump campaign, spying on President Trump while in office, and attempting to undermine and overthrow a duly elected president.

They have disgraced their names, their families, and their country forever.

Shame on them all.

If there is any justice, they should all be brought to justice.
